On nonlinear H∞ control under sampled measurements

This paper deals with the nonlinear H/sub /spl infin// control problem with sampled measurement feedback. This problem has already been studied in Suzuki et al. (1995), where, using a certainty equivalence principle, a control solution involving a state estimator with a linear injection gain is proposed. Using the same general framework, we propose a more refined estimator with a nonlinear injection gain. This gain is shown to be connected to a periodic solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi inequality with jumps.
